true
False. The most important agent of chemical weathering is water, through processes such as hydration, dissolution, and oxidation. Abrasion is a physical weathering process caused by friction and impacts between rock surfaces.
False. Weathering breaks down rocks into sediments, which can then undergo the process of sedimentation and lithification to form sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks are formed through the process of metamorphism, which involves high pressure and temperature altering existing rocks without changing them into sediments.
False. Acid rain can cause chemical weathering, which is a slower process that breaks down minerals and rocks over time. Rapid mechanical weathering is typically caused by physical forces such as frost wedging or plant roots breaking up rocks.
False. Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which the physical properties of a material are altered without changing its chemical composition. This can include changes in size, shape, or texture.
False. They are similar but different. As the particles react with exposure to weathering & ultra-violet and other stimuli they change and thus lose natural ligand bonding and no longer adhere to the substrate.

False
true
Mechanical weathering may occur if the crack is enlarged. Also referred to as frost wedging.
False. They are similar but different. As the particles react with exposure to weathering & ultra-violet and other stimuli they change and thus lose natural ligand bonding and no longer adhere to the substrate.
False. The process that lays down sediment in a new location is deposition, not erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away or carrying off soil and rock by wind, water, or other natural agents.
Thats Very False!! NOT TRUE!
